Hi Ryan,

I'd be interested in your guys spatial4j. The biggest issue unfortunately for 
me is
that as a preference for downstream users, I don't think SIS should include any
dependencies (even optional) on projects with the LGPL license.

Is there any way that the works of spatial4j could be replaced by ALv2 
code?

Cheers,
Chris
